The Hungry Forest

The Hungry ForestShe ran from her past. Now, it's hunting her.

Rin Saito, once a celebrated Tokyo journalist, is now a disgraced pariah, her career and reputation in ruins. But the city's shadows offer no escape when a chilling call drags her back to Komorebi, the isolated village of her childhood, a place she desperately tried to forget. Her mother, the village priestess, has disappeared, leaving behind a legacy of cryptic prophecies and a terrifying secret: 'The forest is hungry.'

In Komorebi, silence is a weapon, and the ancient Guardian Trees watch with predatory eyes. As Rin fights to uncover the truth behind her mother's vanishing, she confronts a village gripped by fear, whispered legends of a shattered mirror, and a forest with an insatiable appetite. Caught in a terrifying cycle of sacrifice and ancient power, Rin must race against time to unravel Komorebi's mysteries and escape the hungry darkness before it consumes her too.
